“The Life Of Rielle”
Rielle Hunter, pregnant single woman, supported by a lover, ensconced in swank surroundings, living the kind of life a poverty-stricken unwed mother would never dare to dream about.

The National Enquirer claims John Edwards had an affair and that the woman is now pregnant with his baby. The woman in question, 44-year-old Rielle Hunter, claims the father is 41-year-old Andrew Young, political operative and until recently, Director of Finance of the Edwards for President campaign.

Such is the enigma of Rielle Hunter. A throwback to the old days of the pampered “other woman” or the state of today’s connubial bliss?

The first Enquirer story ran on October 10.

Nowhere in the Enquirer was the “woman” named nor her “profession.”

The very next day a woman named Rielle Hunter issued a “denial” by way of the website, Mydd.

“The innuendos and lies that have appeared on the internet and in the National Enquirer concerning John Edwards are not true, completely unfounded and ridiculous.

My video production company was hired by the Edwards camp on a 6 month contract, which we completed December 31, 2006.

When working for the Edwards camp, my conduct as well as the conduct of my entire team was completely professional.

This concocted story is just dirty politics and I want no part of it.”

John Edwards also made a statement the same day as Hunter:

Reporters asked Edwards about The ENQUIRER report during a campaign stop in Columbia, S.C., on Oct. 11. Edwards responded: “The story is false. It’s completely untrue, ridiculous,” adding: “Anyone who knows me knows that I have been in love with the same woman for 30 plus years.” [1]

The question has been raised here at DBKP: why did Rielle Hunter come out with a statement against the Enquirer when it never named her, her profession, age or where she resided.

In essence, outing herself?

If you look closely at her “statement” on October 11 Hunter claims her “relationship” with the Edwards’ campaign was “professional.” No one knew at the time she made this statement that Ms. Hunter was pregnant and that little over a month later, she would move to North Carolina, to a gated community of luxury homes five miles from the Edwards campaign headquarters.Just Where did Rielle Hunter End Up and What Does it Look Like?

There a number of facts in this story that are not explained away
by labeling any questions about them a “smear”.

Nice try.

Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment.

Merry Christmas.

R Lawson,
Whos campaign are you aligned with?
Anyone can tell only a person with a vested interest would hold on to this story with such tenacity.

What is most telling is with the Iowa caucus a mere 11 days away, this just reeks of political expediency.

With Obamas admitted drug use, and questionable Muslim links. The Clintons morally challenged tenure in the WH. Guiliani’s multiple marriages and mistress’s it really appears the General Public doesn’t seem to give a hoot, as none of this gains any significant traction. It seems “We the people” EXPECT excessive virility in our leaders. The seduction around power is a known fact. Our reverance for past leaders with wandering eyes has not waned,(think FDR, JFK et all). Boys will be boys and so it follows that powerful boys will have powerful needs.
Stop beating a dead dog, nobody appears to care…..

I am sorry R. Lawson, I was responding to the response from Mondoreb not you, as I wholeheartedly agree with everything you wrote.

Hunter says this is Young’s baby. Young says it’s his baby. She lives in the same gated community with Young. Young leases her luxury SUV. So why do you insist on saying it’s Edwards’ baby? Because that’s news. Nobody cares if an unknown married man has an affair and an illegitimate child . . . unless he is a presidential candidate.

If Edwards wanted a beard for his “affair” he didn’t have to use Young, a married man with three small children, to do it and, therefore, ruin Young’s marriage. There are tons of single men they could have found to take the fall. Young says it’s his baby because . .. IT IS! Nothing to see here. Move along.

“Hunter says this is Young’s baby. Young says it’s his baby. She lives in the same gated community with Young. Young leases her luxury SUV. So why do you insist on saying it’s Edwards’ baby?”

Because married family men who have extramarital affairs don’t tend to move the other woman into the same ritzy gated community and pay all her bills. Here on Earth, at least. Maybe you do things differently on Planet Silky.

Although maybe the Edwards campaign is taking a page from Ron Paul? Rielle Hunter is the John Edwards blimp!

Exactly, Young’s wife and kids are humiliated with this story, not just Young.
No married man would willing put his family through this massive amount of negative attention.

Not even to do a massive favor for a presidential candidate who would then owe them if elected?
